Hidden columns
Applies to ❌ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
There are various reasons why a column could be hidden, including:
- The column is formally marked as
HIDDENorINVISIBLE, if the database product supports this. - A forced type marks the column as hidden.
jOOQ's code generator can detect some of these, and mark columns as hidden for you, meaning that the column will not be taken into consideration in default projections. For details about the runtime behaviour of such hidden columns, please see the relevant section about hidden columns.
Limitations
Thehiddenflag is a property of the generatedorg.jooq.DataType. As such, the property can only be enforced on expressions which make this flag available to jOOQ. For example, if you're using plain SQL templates without passing along aDataTypewith thehiddenflag enabled to table meta data, then it cannot be enforced. See also features requiring code generation for more details.
